Let's party

Simple Minds are my second-favourite band, but unfortunately Mandela Day is not one of my favourite songs...

I share that problem .

But who's that Mandella you refer to in the title? I just know Mortadella:

Never really got all this Mandella thing. He broke the law and they put him in prison, no?

Why did Simple Minds have to get involved?

I always thought Simply Red are a band you should not admit liking.

Because Jim Kerr was (and perhaps still is) an avid member of Amnesty International.

And about the law breaking thing - That was purely political as I know.

for some reason, i read Simple minds as Simply Red

Er, same goes for Simple Minds

the dignity portraied by the man in those 20 years is amazing,, even invited his jailor to attend 20th party.. he turned up,, went to the Wembley concert that celebrated his release,,,,,o.k so winnie was there,

peace in peace always live in peace.

if you don't like Simply Red, you suffer from homophobia...

Mick Hucknall was gay?
